Hi

My son is tech director for an August 2013 production of the show anything goes in Winchester UK? I was wondering if anyone in the area might loan a camera of the style the Press used in the 1930s as a prop. I understand a graflex would be the right type.

Sorry no one has answered this before now. I live in the US, where Graflex cameras are common. I own some, but shipping to the UK would be prohibitively expensive. I just looked at eBay UK, and there are not many Graflex items at all.

Many Thanks for your research I have found a hire company in the Uk that will hire for £40, so I think we will go with that. It's been an interesting exercise.

Looks like there is quite a hire market out there for theatricals.
